Chapter 938, Asura Guards
Chapter 938, Asura Guards
Translator: Silavin
Looking at its Attribute Panel, Lu Fan discovered with surprise that this Monster’s Level was not low. It was actually a Level 110 Normal Grade Monster called Asura Guard.
Its Level 100 Divine Skill was named Asura Storm, which allowed it to wield its three spears while spinning its body to deal continuous Damage to its surroundings.
Moreover, during this process it could not be Crowd Controlled and could resist 80% of All Damage.
One could imagine that if the Asura Guard charged towards the backline with Asura Storm, it would be a fatal threat to the Players there.
Fortunately, the number of Asura Guards was not that numerous, only six.
While the number of Players present was nearly three hundred!
Three hundred against six. This battle naturally held no suspense.
Moreover, most Players here were in their Fourth Profession and above.
Mikami Saburo shouted. “Prepare to engage the enemy!”
Then, he took the initiative to attack. With a wave of his staff, he formed a stone wall about two metres tall before everyone.
The stone wall was not particularly tall, but it could at least block the Asura Guards.
When the Asura Guards saw the stone wall blocking them, their instinctive response was to simply smash through with their golden spears.
However, as leader of the Mikami Clan, how could the Skills created by Mikami Saburo be so easily destroyed?
On the surface, this was merely an ordinary stone wall. In reality, its hardness exceeded even some rare metals!
The Asura Guards’ weapons fell upon the stone wall, causing it to tremble violently from the bombardment, but it could still firmly block the Monsters’ advancing steps.
Behind them, nearly three hundred Players also began dishing out Damage with their Skills.
Amongst those present, most were Hidden Professions, whose Profession Characteristics were far more powerful than ordinary Professions, as was their Damage Output.
Countless Skills blasted out, and for a moment, the special effects from those Skills illuminated this place.
Various Magic Attack Skills and arrows flew out one after another, bombarding the Monsters.
Lu Fan even saw some strange Skills, such as flying axes and javelins, which also held considerable power.
He knew these must be the work of some Players with Hidden Professions.
In any case, under the bombardment of so many people’s Skills, the first Asura Guard could not form up any resistance at all and was easily killed, its massive body falling. Its golden armour scattered on the ground, while its carcass transformed into a grey mist that rose into the sky with a wailing cry before disappearing.
With the first Asura Guard killed like this, the other Asura Guards, possessing high intelligence, realised these people were formidable.
The five Asura Guards immediately released their Skills. In short, their Level 100 Divine Skill, Asura Storm.
Instantly, all the Asura Guards held their spears and began spinning rapidly, transforming into enormous whirlwinds.
When everyone’s Skills landed on them, many were deflected, unable to deal much Damage.
Not only that.
The Earth Wall released by Mikami Saburo was also shattered by the five whirlwinds, and the five Asura Guards charged towards everyone.
Seeing this, Mikami Saburo frowned and warned. “All Close Combat Players, push forward! Everyone, release your Skills at full power! Prioritise Skills that deal True Damage and won’t have their Damage negated!”
At Mikami Saburo’s command, everyone changed tactics.
All those specialising in Close Combat rushed forward, using their bodies to block the Monsters.
All Support Specialised Players applied various Status Effects to these Frontliners, helping them boost their Attributes, and could immediately provide assistance if they were injured.
The Close Combat Players engaged the Monsters in close combat, and for a moment the sound of clashing weapons was incessant.
Each Close Combat Player had extremely High Attributes, and with the Buffs from so many Supporters, although dealing with the Asura Guards was somewhat difficult, having so many people contain them and prevent them from advancing was quite easy.
Additionally, there were many Players that could deliver Damage present.
Many amongst them possessed Skills that ignored Damage Reduction and dealt True Damage.
Although such Skills generally had Low Damage against such Monsters, as the saying went, many ants could kill an elephant. With so many people and so many Skills, they still made the Asura Guards’ Health Pool drop rapidly.
Lu Fan, staying amongst everyone, could not openly slack off.
He released a few Thunder Totems, letting them electrocute the Monsters, which counted as contributing his fair share of effort.
In any case, with so many people, who could see him slacking off?
Moreover, Jin Zhan beside him was doing the same.
Obviously, after using the Mask of Deception, his Black Fireball was still an instant-cast.
Yet this man still pretended to chant for ages before firing a Black Fireball, truly performing the art of ‘slacking off’ to perfection.
Jian Ying and the others were the same. If not for fear of ruining things, they would have long since started killing the people here.
Right now, they still had to hide their identities, so the three of them just picked small Skills without any Stamina or Mana cost and casually tossed them about.
Even with these five professional slackers in the team, the five Asura Guards did not last long and were all cleaned up by everyone.
Seeing this, Seifū Murasaki, the old woman, called out loudly to everyone. “Everyone be careful. It seems this Earth Tripartite still contains some very High Level Monsters. The Monsters on the outskirts are already Level 110. Going further in, we might encounter Level 120 Monsters.”
“Although the Monsters are of High Level, we have so many people with us, all experts, so we can continue exploring. But, everyone must pay attention and stay with the group. Don’t run about randomly. Especially, never touch anything strange. If we trigger some kind of hidden trap that summons a Boss, there will definitely be casualties amongst us.”
Everyone nodded, understanding the danger.
Afterwards, Seifū Murasaki, Mikami Saburo, and Nichirin Takeshi led the group and continued advancing.
Not long after continuing forward, strange sounds came again.
This time, what appeared were also Asura Guards.
However, the number had reached as many as thirteen.
This time, everyone already had experience fighting these Monsters, so even though the Monster numbers increased, there was not much danger.
When they charged over, everyone simply bombarded them with Skills.
If they activated their Level 100 Divine Skill Asura Storm, everyone used Skills that ignored Damage Reduction, while having Close Combat Players to hold the front.
The thirteen Asura Guards did not last long and were eliminated one by one by everyone, causing no significant obstruction at all.
